Renters insurance also provides you coverage for anyone who may get hurt in your rental space. You can be sued if someone gets hurt and having coverage can help protect you. Also want to make sure there are no limits (or adjusted limits) on line items. Gun coverage usually has a small cap. As do tools, jewelry, electronics, art, and other things. Make sure you have the coverage you need so if something does happen, you're not just out on the street with nothing.

State of Ohio requires a permit for any home improvements. Your city or township may not have the requirement, but checking is always the best option. Usually a permit is cheap I and easy (process). Good luck with the work!

Anyone participating in the Cincy region (SCCA) PDX Track Day at Mid-Ohio this Friday? (online reg. is closed, but still can enter - link to the details: http://www.motorsportreg.com/events/2016-it-spec-tacular-plus-double-regional-pdx-test-mid-ohio-sports-car-664693#.V6DI_U3ruWg)

 

I'll be there Friday trying to figure out my brake issue. Think it is resolved, but am bringing enough parts to replace everything from the booster to the calipers. Then participating in the race weekend. Should be a great weekend of racing!

Chase checks all the boxes for me. They have the best mobile experience and offer all kinds of services depending on account type. I get reimbursed for arm fees, free wire transfers, overdraft options (don't use it). Three are many good options, but Chase is it for me. (Used to work there, but not anymore - still a shareholder and customer)

Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. Well within or under your price point and fun to drive. Big wheels/tires, good brakes, different power options (n/a or Turbo/Supercharger), and good looking.

We have not claimed her since she was under the age of 17. When we had our taxes done for 2014, she had turned 17, so our CPA said we no longer get a child credit... we did not claim her for 2014 or 2015.

 

We are trying to fill it out online and it's not letting her not put my salary in.

 

This is my experience as well. All income must be listed - no matter what the financial contribution will be.

Sounds like a good deal. I just sold a 2000 civic lx with 268k on it for $1300. Ran good, a/c didn't work, basic transportation (int and ext were 6.5/10). Sold it in 12 hours on cl. This one sounds better with lower miles. Hard to go wrong with a cheap civic.

...I literally drive 2,000 miles a year now that I am 100% remote for work, my coverages are all 100/300k but I'm likely going to drop those down a bit due to the umbrella policy I have through work

 

Make sure to check the requirements for your umbrella policy. Most require you to have liability limits around 100/300 and their policy will kick in after those limits.

Congrats! Hopefully the new opportunity is exactly what you're looking for! (New company and a new career path)!

Over 80 cars entered for this event! Hope to see some of you at the track this weekend!

Called trash for bulk pickup. Needed to be wrapped in plastic. I used a roll of shrink wrap / cellophane to wrap the mattress and put it at the curb. You could probably get a plastic cover from a mattress store to cover for bulk pickup. Shouldn't be too bad to get rid of...

Always loved Nelson! Great photos and video! Too bad the owners let it go to hell. Last time I was there was in 2012 and I won't go back. The tire walls are ramps that launch and roll cars often. The track surface is just dangerous. Really too bad - we all loved running at Nelson. Maybe someday they will repair the surface and fix the tire walls.... We can hope!!!

Beautiful truck! Don't forget that if you own it outright, the trade in value will reduce your tax bill on a new car purchase. That is a good amount of tax savings at $16,600... Good luck - can't believe no one has picked this up! Wish I was in the market for one (always wanted one!).

This is another SCCA Performance Driving eXperience (PDX) event at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. If you've wanted to get your street car out on the road course - this is a great opportunity! Lots of track time and instruction for beginner and intermediate drivers. I'm a volunteer for the event and will be working with the Chief Driving Instructor for the event. Entry information can be found here:

Anyone who comes up - be sure to find me and say hi! I'll be hanging around the front straight/tower area. You can't miss me...

Worked there for 5 years (2010-2014) and the traffic is the big issue. You will come in early and leave late because you won't make it to work on time or you will sit in traffic for 30+ minutes just to get to 71/270. I drove from Pickerington every day and found several sweet spots that made the traffic not horrible. My drive to Dublin now is faster than the trip to Polaris...

 

As far as working there - great company! There are good and bad people there (with over 10k people at Polaris working for JPMC, you will find all kinds!). I really enjoyed working there and the pay/benefits are great! They make it difficult to leave with their pay and benefits package. There are plenty of IT related jobs in Columbus (at Polaris) depending on what you want to do. The company is so large, you can pretty much find something to do that fits your skill set and that you like. Good luck!!

Looked this morning and registration is closed (No joy here)..

 

Registration is now closed. If you would still like to register for the event please contact Peggy Dietz at 330-460-6706 or via e-mail at fford18@roadrunner.com

 

You should still be able to register for this event. The on-line registration is closed, but call the number above and she should be able to get you taken care of. (Got the information from the 'closed' page on the website)

There you will find the supps and information on the safety checklist for the PDX.

 

The weather forecast looks good as of now, so I'm hoping for a little overcast and ~80 for the Friday-Sunday! Anyone from here who makes it up this Friday (or weekend) - stop by and say hi! I'll be paddocked in the grass area under the trees right next to the paved upper paddock. I've got a white enclosed trailer, maroon Silverado and a red Solstice (#16).

Adding the extra coverage to your existing home owners policy is the easy button. At the same time, talk to your agent about other things that may not be covered without additions to the policy. Things that never crossed my mind were tool coverage (included limit was something like $1k), artwork, cash (my policy only covered ~$500 in cash), ammo (I added the ammo value to my extended gun coverage), electronics... I made adjustments to my policy to cover what I actually needed covered and the price went up ~$100/yr. Good piece of mind to make sure if anything bad happens I'm covered.

Thanks Andy! I've got nothing to do with this one. I'm actually driving the T4 solstice in the advanced group to shake it down prior to the race weekend. Should be a great day/weekend!! Anyone looking to get their car on a race track - this is a great way to do it!

...edit - i read that i could pay an extra $30/mo to be able to tether my unlimited data and use it at home on occasion, and the verizon reps said no. so, i guess my next step is to root my phone (still on a GS3) and do it for free if they don't want my $$

 

I used to use an app called PDANet to tether my Verizon phone to my laptop. If that one isn't available, I'm sure there are others that would work without rooting your phone. Something to check into...

Cindy region is doing a PDX (performance driving experience) on Friday August 7th. Info here: http://www.motorsportreg.com/events/i-t-spec-tacular-mid-ohio-sports-car-course-scca-cincinnati-979761#.VZwjU3D3arX

 

Always a great time and a great way to get on a road course!

I passed. 83%

 

CONGRATS!!!!!! Well done! Waiting for the results is a killer!

 

Now that you've passed, I'll tell you that is the easy test. The next ones are only 8 questions and you have 1 1/2 hours to complete the test. The questions have a 5pt, 3pt, 1pt and 0pt answers. The 0pt is usually easy to spot, but the others can be tough! When you get to these, make sure on the practice tests to pick the 5,3,1 and 0pt answers. This will help when you get to the actual test.

Took the test today. I passed both practice exams. One the real exam it was a combination of "I know this", "I think I know this", and "I have no idea what this is"

 

We will see in a few days when the results come back.

 

I think they all go like this... The "I have no idea what this is" happens with at least one question and makes you worry that the test went bad. Let us know when you get the results. Good luck!

I took the foundations v3 class and certification test 2 years ago. I knew nothing of the framework and went into the class cold. I used the book and practice tests to prepare for the test and passed. I studied 3 hours each night and the 1 hour before the exam (lunch). The foundations test is the 'easy' one. 40 questions and you need to answer 26 of those correct. I'm a terrible test taker and have trouble studying, but was able to pass.

Other factors to consider are the extra coverage options. Extra coverage for guns, jewelry, electronics, tools, cash on hand... Those things can change a premium but be well worth it if you experience a loss.
